Day 73
Just as we were getting ready to leave this morning, a
sailboat came to the dock. They were
from Knoxville, Tn and plan to stop at some of the places we are visiting while
heading south, so I’m sure we’ll see them again. That’s how it’s been the last week or so,
meeting people we have met earlier in our adventure.
Today we spent most of the day crossing Choctawhatchee
Bay… and we are not at the end of it yet.
It started out with 1-2 ft waves but flattened out as the day
progressed. The bay is brackish water
and is a tea color brown. We finally
figured out the dolphins that we have been seeing, we would spot them and they
would seem to dive under the boat and we wouldn’t see them again. Today we saw a couple dive in front of the
boat so I went up on the bow and there were three dolphins swimming in front of
us while cruising at 8 mph. We watched them all afternoon.
We passed our first shrimp boat today.
We are anchored near Jolly Bay close to the north end of
a bridge that crosses the bay. The wind
is supposed to pick up tonight so we will have good wind protection from the
north. A really weird coincidence happened
this evening. We are meeting friends
from Terre Haute at Panama City next week and we get a text message from them
asking if we are anchored by a bridge crossing the bay…they were driving to
Panama City and recognized our boat at anchor, how weird is that!
Oh, I heard we had snow back home today...........sure hate to miss that :)
